about GLASSCOR
About Glasscor | Hand Made Glass from Portugal
Glasscor was born in the heart of Europe’s glassmaking tradition, in Marinha Grande, Portugal — a city renowned for its deep historical connection to the art of glass. Here, the craft of hand made glass has been passed down from generation to generation for nearly 300 years. It is more than a skill — it is a way of life, rooted in the heritage of families whose stories are written in molten glass and glowing furnaces.
At Glasscor, we honor this legacy by creating exclusive collections of hand made glass objects that celebrate tradition while embracing contemporary design. Our work is deeply personal. Each piece is crafted using traditional hand-blown techniques, shaped by the breath, gesture, and intuition of master glassmakers who have spent decades refining their craft.
Hand Made Glass: A Story in Every Piece
The term “hand made glass” is at the core of our identity. For us, it is not a marketing label — it is a commitment to quality, authenticity, and soul. Unlike mass-produced items, our pieces carry the imperfections and individuality that only human hands can create. These details are not flaws — they are signatures of artistry. Each curve, texture, and color variation is a result of a unique moment in the making process, making every item from Glasscor truly one of a kind.
From the initial gathering of molten glass to the final cut or engraving, every stage of our production is handled manually. There are no shortcuts — only patience, precision, and passion. The result is a collection of hand made glass vases, bowls, and lamps that exude character and emotion.
Limited Editions, Unlimited Expression
Our collections are not created for mass distribution. We believe in slow creation, limited editions, and timeless beauty. Each Glasscor piece belongs to a curated series with a limited number of units, emphasizing its exclusivity and artistic value. Once a collection is gone, it is truly gone — replaced not by replicas, but by new expressions of creativity.
The textures, forms, and colors we explore are inspired by nature, architecture, and emotion. From the volcanic ashes of our WHITE VULKANIC collection to the elegant distortion of INRYTHM or the floral delicacy of LÒTUS, every collection has its own story, told through the language of hand made glass.
A Legacy of Excellence
Glasscor is a brand created by Crisbase, a glassmaking company founded in 1995 in Portugal. Crisbase has been producing hand made glass for over two decades, supplying prestigious international brands in the fields of interior design and lighting. Through Glasscor, we bring this expertise directly to those who truly value the power of craftsmanship.
All our pieces are produced in-house by experienced artisans who respect the balance between innovation and tradition. While we embrace modern aesthetics, our soul remains tied to the ancestral methods of glassmaking — methods that require fire, breath, and hands.
Bringing the Craft into Your Home
To own a Glasscor piece is to bring a piece of this tradition into your home. It is to invite warmth, elegance, and a sense of individuality into your space. Whether you choose a bold table lamp, a sculptural glass vase, or a delicately engraved bowl, you are choosing more than décor — you are choosing heritage.
We invite you to explore our collections and experience the quiet luxury of hand made glass. In a world of uniformity and speed, we believe in the enduring beauty of things made slowly, with care and purpose. Glasscor is not just a brand — it is a tribute to human hands and the timeless material they shape.
